Butler County Amateur Radio Public Service Group

6-28-2026 – Folks, From my chair, we had a pretty successfull Field Day this year!  According to the sign-in roster, we had a total of 28 people visit us,  23 of which were club members, twenty-one percent of the membership by my calculations!!  It could be better but I’ll accept that percentage any day!  Also of note, we had a Butler Eagle Reporter and the Butler County Deputy EOC Director /Robert McLafferty / KB3ZNU drop in on us yesterday, along with another EMA official, Richard “Rick” Lippert!  If all goes as planned, I was told there will be an article in the Butler Eagle later this week.  The food was great as usual and the camaraderie was even better!!  A Big Thank-You goes out to all the members that took the time to visit or set-up and operate a bit!

6-25-2026 – It’s my understanding, after a number of years, the old Saxonburg Repeater, now located at Winfield Township / 443.2MHz, is finally back on the air!  Much thanks goes out to Mitchell / YEU,  Andy / AEP,  Joe / WH and Tom / KST for taking time out of their day to get this long awaited project completed.  We can now say our membership now manages 6 active repeaters covering Butler County!  We ARE now, definately Radio Active!  Thank-you Gentlemen!

6-18-2026 – Please join me in welcoming Bill Pearson / K4WWP to the PSG!  I’m told Bill’s grandson is real excited about attending our Field Day activities!  Welcome to the friendliest bunch of Ham Radio operators in Western Pennsylvania!  

6-11-2026 – Well, the Beaver County Power Station (BVPS) EVAC Drill is behind us now and I must say, the PSG Team did a FANTASTIC job!  Based on the discussion we had at the meeting last night, I believe this exercise was the MOST significant interaction the PSG has ever had with the Butler County 911 and the other Butler County (BC) Public Service Team Staff.  For those of you that missed the meeting, our BVPS Drill Team went above and beyond in gaining valuable insight, into how we can improve our participation in future BVPS EVAC exercises!  Speaking on behalf of Marianne / YWU, BC Emergency Coordinator and Larry / HUK, BC Races Officer, our sincere THANKS goes out to Dan/GDS, Dale /SV, Matt /TIX, John /YVE, Mike /DRM, Jim /WCY, Crystal /WFY, Andrew /CUV, all who stepped forward making the 2026 BVPS EVAC Drill a resounding success!!!!  

5-9-2026 – Greetings Folks, we’ve added yet another member to the PSG Club Roster!  Please join me in welcoming David Colledge (KB3NFQ) to the PSG and the Region 13 ACS Team!  David is a Technician Class Operator and makes his home in Leechburg, Pa.  Welcome to the club Dave!  We look forward to talking with you on the air real soon!  

5-3-2026 – Hamsters, We’ve just added two new members to the PSG Family Roster!!  Aaron (KD3CLB) and Logan Balfour (KD3CLE) from Evans City.  They’ve not only joined our club, but also saw fit to give us a generous financial donation.  Thank-you Gentlemen!  I believe both earned their tickets with our illustrious VE Team several months ago and have now elected to join our club and the Region 13 ACS Team as well.  Welcome aboard Gentlemen!!     CLICK for More News…
